Hi Russel, Dominick Grift, Laurent Bigonville and me have been working on getting upstream refpolicy into shape for debian. Especially dgrift got tens of patches written for upstream refpolicy last week (you might have read it in refpolicy ml) and bigon made packages of upstream refpolicy [1]. We talked about the future of refpolicy in debian (over in #selinux at freenode) and for us it seems the best option forward is to package upstream, i.e. dropping all patches from the debian package. We do not seem to have the resources to package new upstream refpolicy releases maintaining all the patches in debian, so I think we are better of starting from upstream. Also, many of the debian patches have been upstreamed last year (although some are missing, like the useful lda patches) and by going an "upstream first" route we possibly can have very recent refpolicy versions in debian (in contrast to the current situation, where we have a version of refpolicy in debian that was released over three years ago). What do you think?
Back in June you said you were also working on policy in debian. How is going? We should maybe coordinate efforts, such that we get useful patches upstreamed asap and don't duplicate work. Cheers, Mika [1] http://people.debian.org/~bigon/refpolicy/ --
